Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a landscaping company based in Birmingham?

Yes. Two companies on this list are based in Birmingham: Modern Tree & Landscape llc, a design and installation firm that also does yearly maintenance, and Gator Lawn Corporation, which provides lawn mowing. Stoneys Landscaping is just over the city line in Royal Oak. Stealth Landscape Lighting works from Bloomfield Hills, about 4.6 miles away, and Grow Garden and Landscape Design comes from Hazel Park, about 8.8 miles away.

When should I book a landscaper in Birmingham?

Book design and installation work early, ideally in late winter. A consultation, a design and a written proposal all take time before a crew is scheduled. Spring cleanup, mulch and lawn care fill up quickly once the weather turns. Sod and seeding usually do best in spring or early fall. If you plan to regrade or fix drainage, get it done before the wet season: grading and downspout extensions keep roof runoff away from the foundation, which is the other half of a dry basement.

Do landscapers in Michigan need a license?

Michigan does not license landscapers. Companies that apply fertilizer or pesticides must use MDARD-certified applicators, so ask about that if your plan includes lawn treatments. For hardscape and retaining walls, ask who pulls the permit. Some companies on this list, including Stoneys Landscaping and Grow Garden and Landscape Design, say on their websites that they are licensed and insured. Ask any company for proof of insurance before work starts.

Does Roofing Army do landscaping?

No. Roofing Army does roofing only and does not offer landscaping. The two trades do meet at drainage, though. Grading and downspout extensions keep roof runoff away from the foundation, which is the other half of a dry basement. If you are planning grading or drainage work with a landscaper, Roofing Army inspects roofs for free in Birmingham, so the roof side can be checked too.
